Took a little ride yesterday on my motorcycle to the Van Sant Airport…. or…maybe I just got in the time machine again and pushed the back button! These guys were having a blast!

Hi Paul:
Greetings from Manhattan. I was struck by your quietly beautiful photo, “Beachfront Sunrise,” (posted recently on Blogfinger), and your statement that you preferred sunrises to sunsets because “beginnings are happier than endings.”
Here is the poem, “Dawn,” from my 2008 collection, Father of Water.
Best wishes,
Charles Pierre
Dawn
By Charles Pierre
The first hint of morning on the ocean
is a trembling of shadows,
a dark hovering of muted tones
that moves with imperceptible pace,
a vanishing medium through which
the day brightens and widens,
the new light going on for miles and miles
in the shine of emerging surf.
BILL FRISELL. “Across the Universe.”

TOOTS THIELEMANS from his album One More For the Road.
The song “This Time the Dream’s on Me” was written for the 1941 film Blues in the Night by two of the all-time song-writing greats: Johnny Mercer (lyrics) and Harold Arlen (music). It is sung by Till Brönner.
“To see you through, till you’re everything you wanna be,
“It can’t be true, but this time the dream’s on me”
